Project EG: Revival of the Glory

[captainattack]

This is my old dashboard in very good condition

will be replaced with this new one...

*** the old one is for sale now

any chance of the dashboard still being available?

[captainattack]

This is the fog light that will be fitted in to the back bumper

any idea how much do they cost these days?

[shabbir.1]

shampoo ( MEG ultimate wash and wax or Aurmor all shampoo comes in blue color is good one) > Polish (meg ultimate polish/dodo lime prime polish, both can be used with rotory and hands with polishing pads, if you do not have rotory then get meguires applicator pads come in pack of 4 n 2, use just a single drop and scrub it till u see that polish is invisible now) > wax (Once polish is done to whole car, now time for wax, i suggest DODO purple haze which do last a month and give perfect water beeding protection, or else Meg Ultimate wax/NXT 2.0/ 26# wax, these are so far perfect for limited budget and excellent result.) last you need approx 3 microfibers, 1 for drying,1 was polishing wipe, 1 for wax n final touches.
so WASH then wipe
then polish by rotory or hand applicator pads
then wipe and apply wax with its own applicator pad
and last wipe it off.
Remember, its useless to apply extra quantity of wax or polish, i wish you could spare some time n pay visit to lahore, i n DC team is always looking forward for you.

Thanks for your input shazo. The details can be summarized as:

No brother, I have sold it long before. Dashboards are easily available in the market, though you would have got mine at much lower price.

any idea how much do they cost these days?

I got it from ebay for around 7k. It comes in Integra and may be some other cars as well. User vindictive_metal had one for sale a year before so also contact him. Try to search it in junkyards may be you get a bumper there already fitted with this light and keep its photo in your mobile phone to show it to the shopkeeper or you can source one from ebay anytime.

sad about the dashboard. as for the fog light, vindictive had two and he sold them both to shazo. Shazo installed one on his cousin's ES 1 and the other one, he is going to install on his car after his restoration is complete..

MASHALLAH brother awesome car. Really amazed by the sheer amount of effort you have put into this build, truly amazing. This really deserves a "Built not Bought" sticker.

BTW I tried to translate that Japanese decal, apparently it means "High Pressure Gas".

@shabbir.1 - I visited this thread quite long ago and the amount of effort you were putting in, looking into each and every minor detail, I was confident that you'll produce a masterpiece, and that's exactly what you did.
Thumbs up brother. (Y)
The car looks splendid and is a head turner for sure.
Zabardast!

There is a person in bahria town pindi who makes hot stamped (?) custom plates. He has also given his add on the olx you might have checked that add as well.

If you have his details then can you please share them with me?
I might be interested in getting the punch style plates.

I have recently seen one in Peshawar. It was lying on a shelf at an upper location in a shop, since I wasn't buying it so didn't ask the shopkeeper to pick and show it, however it looked like the genuine SIR spoiler made of ABS material.

Thanks @usman922. The car was painted using its original paint code i.e., Honda NH-537M (pewter grey). Then there were two shades available with in the same color code, I chose the darker one.

[usman922]

Thanx bro... exactly my car has sticker with this same code... but the catalogue colour as u shown here was not matching the inside colour of my car,that! As matching with 575 thunder grey

I assume you have the same model car with you. If yes, then it is an old car of around 20 years age. Though the inside of the car is not exposed to the harshness of weather, UV rays and also not exposed to the use of inappropriate chemical products for washing/waxing and polishing the car, but still it receive its bit of beating from the dust, wet and damp floor carpet etc. As a result the color tone does change with the gradually with the passage of time.
So I will suggest you to stick to original color code of the car, though it may apparently appear to be a little different from the paint what the car is wearing now.
